My Bartending Evening

[Gmann]

Here's a lovely synopsis of my evening tonight for your reading enjoyment.


So tonight I get to work and theres a couple regulars already a little bit sloshed. Long story short I cut some of them off in order to get them the hell out because I have more people, IN MY OPINION BETTER PEOPLE coming in to drink, and well....I want them out. So anyway later on, about 2+ hrs after I start my shift one of the drunkards starts falling asleep/passing out at the bar. I give him a little shove/push in order to wake him up and his friend, a huge asshole whom I just DYING to beat the piss out of, starts talking shit, not to touch him blah blah blah. Some random guy who just gets there helps me out a little with the waking up. Which I thought was nice of the guy. All of a sudden, the asshole, whos name is Mark starts threatening him, yelling at him blah blah blah to keep his hands off his friend. I start yelling at Mark cause well...HEY...Im the bartender, I run the show here. Mark...in his drunken Irish wisdom... gets his glass of beer and throws it in my face.
When I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that I flipped out....I FLIPPED OUT.
I blacked out a little, and apparently picked up a shot glass and beaned off this fucker's head, hopped over the bar and BEGGED this guy to pull some shit while I was on that side of the fence. I practically did everything I could to get this guy to try and hit me OTHER than actually hitting this guy myself. And he did NOTHING!!!
The guy who was helping me earlier convinced me to call the cops, which I did, and to calm down a little and wait till the cops arrived, which I did. ONLY AFTER I got back to the other side of the bar and settle down a little did this peice of SHIT Mark start talking shit about how he was gonna kick my ass and how he could break me in half blah blah blah blah.
Oh yeah, Hosp was there. He got yelled at by Mark too :tongue:
So then finally after another 10 minutes of getting yelled at by some asshole who wouldnt do anything earlier...one line he yelled at me which still gets me pissed thinking about it "I forgive you George, now go get me a beer boy!!!"....grrr.....he leaves. AND THEN THE COPS ARRIVE. Good timing. Your tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen.

Later on in the evening I have another drunk Irish lady, around her 40's, whom I cut off earlier, decide the pool table was a nice place to take a nap. Getting her out of the bar wasnt as interesting as the story above, but I just felt the need to type it anyway.

Why Im typing this....I dunno.
Do I still feel pissed about this evening,.....shit yeah I do. Ive been drinking straight since 10:30pm, shot beers etc....
When did I start feeling the least bit buzzed?.....ummm...right about now :tongue:

I dunno guys, I just felt the need to vent a little, and I feel you guys are all cool mofo's and since everyone else shared their problems and whatnot, I just wanted to share mine.

Thanks for listening/reading

It's really scary that you blacked out a little. It's moments like that (furious, rageous moments) that you probably need to be in control of yourself the most. Luckily you didn't "come to" to find yourself standing over his lifeless body with a bloodied broken beer bottle in your hand. It also sounds like you're still feeling some rage and probably will for a long time when you think back to that night.

Luckily the guy didn't pull a gun or a knife on you.
Sorry you had to go through that!

[topless_mike]

i think what pissed you off was the fact that you have a "relationship" to him; meaning seller (you) and buyer (him).
if there was no coorelation, you would have gone home, showered, batched, and gone to sleep with no probs. but the fact that you serve him, he pays you to get him a drink, kind of gives him an ego booster. between that booster and the fact that you want to kick his ass is what is bothering you.

dunno. the above sounds good.

[ralphbxny]

Where is the bar at? I need to see you in action!!! Throwing a shot glass and hitting someone...very impressive. I gather you gave him the heat. No offspeed stuff!

[nate1000]

I agree with topless_mike- now go get me a beer, bitch. Here's a dollar for your trouble.

JK- you gotta admit that it was a perfectly placed jab- It'd drive me nuts for days.

Sorry to hear of your bad night Gmann but why did you have to send my wife home?

[Soupy_Dreck]

just flag the douche bag so he can't drink in there anymore. make him someone else's problem...

one question though, did you open him up with the glass?

[GvacMobile]

Drunk chicks passing out on the pool table? Barroom brawls? This is my kind of place!

And to be serious, I know exactly what you mean about 'blacking out' in a fit of rage. I also know about pussies who talk tough once there's a wall between them & you.

It takes a bit of time, but you'll be giggling about it soon.

[Furtherman]

Did Hosp forget his flower lapel that is also a poison dart gun? Some secret agent!


Ahh the unruly customer. I never had one throw a beer in my face, but I did enjoy escorting them out while they bitched and moaned.

[Kris10]

AND THEN THE COPS ARRIVE. Good timing. Your tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen.

Could it be possible that they might have been involved in something a little bit more serious than your situation? Some douche threw beer in your eyes, you weren't murdered you pussy.

Get ready to duck Rouski, I see a shot glass coming your way soon.

Oh no! Should I call the cops???

Wouldn't be the first time something was thrown at me for speaking my mind.

in his defense, it was probably backwash beer and that stuff is gross...

Wow. Has it been 28 days already?

1)Gmann tried to cut him off, grabbed the shot from in front of "Mike", thats when "Mike" threw the beer, catching me too. That's when Gmann ran around, threw the bar stools out of the way and started the chest bumping. I moved around to the side waiting for the first punch to be thrown.

2)As "Mike" was walking to the bathroom after everything, he turned to me and "I'd jack you up too, you piece of shit". When he came out of the bathroom he tried to appologize. I said nothing either time. I've had a shitty month and would have gladly spent the rest of the night picking his teeth out of my knuckles.

3)Elderly drunk irish chick: Ziggy, my boss at Myradiostore.com (the leading independant retailer for XM Radio equipment 2 years running) gets in his head that one of us from the company had to take her home. Some how he chooses me and tells me that he'd give me $100 to do it. When I refuse he says $200. When I point out that I wouldn't even finger her, he starts waving around $300. At this point she sees it, and as he's trying to tell her it was for me to be with her, she asks what's her cut and then decides that since he's the one with the money, he's the one that needed her attention.

And if everything works out, I might be doing a fundraiser there for me to raise money for the Avon walk, so I'll let you all know.

Is it wrong that Im still pissed when I think about last night ??
When I got home, after I took a shower, I had to do a little mantra like chant in the mirror "calm down, its over, go to sleep" for like 5 mins.


And thanks for the laughs guys.

[Kris10]

Actually, no. But if you can't defend yourself and have to call wolf or in this case the cops everytime some jackass throws beer in your face your a pussy. Doesn't this bar have bouncers?

And if women didn't get their periods you asshat we wouldn't be able to produce cocksuckers like yourself but then again I expect a stupid response from a dick in Buffalo, NY.

[Kris10]

see this wasn't specified... how am I suppose to know?

ummmm, magic 8 ball?

[Hottub]

Ziggy, (The guy who runs myradiostore.com (http://www.myradiostore.com/)) is a funny guy.
Hosp, I need you to paint a picture of this older Irish woman. 300 bucks is a nice payday.
Was it that awful?

[Gmann]

Yes. Yes it was.

[Hosp]

Just joking...it doesn't work anymore. They took the good stuff out.

[Leticia]

I completely feel you on this.

I was outside of the bar on night and this fucking drunk guy came up to me and stroked his finger down my belly and said, "Nice" !!!!
What the fuck!

I told him that if he tries to pull some shit like that again that he would get the shit kicked out of him.
He actually comes inside and tries to get a drink only to find out that I was the bartender.I just try to ignore his stupidity and give him his bear, but he does that stupid . doesn't let go of the money when he's trying to give it to me, thing.
I already had warned him and said I'm going to kick you out.
Then he tried to reach across the whole bar at me afterwards and he kept being like "what, I didn't do anything wrong just give me a chance"

He seems to have forgotten that he literally just violated me outside.

By the time I had had enough of him I just got him kicked out. (It took 20 minutes for me to really have been justified to not want to put up with him anymore.)

It sucks that you have to take certain shit when you're a bartender.

I as very bad at taking anything from anyone. But you gotta watch out, cause you have to keep yourself from making things personal.
That was my problem.

And that's why I let him come in to begin with, instead of just banning him.
I wanted to wait till I had enough evidence to conclude that this guy could not be in the bar (at least while I was working)

It's been a while since this happened so I don't remember exactly what the stupid ass thing was that he did before I finally decided to kick this guy out.
But it was worth it to see him carried out by the doormen.


Sometimes I'm glad I'm not actually a guy when I'm bartending cause if I was I know I would have lost my temper way more than did.

OH, and as far as blacking out I have def. done that. The owner of the bar next to the one worked at. (Slainte) Invited a bunch of us over to drink and while I was there he grabbed my crotch!!! I got so mad that I pushed him into all of the glasses, but def. blacked out for most of it.

The next thing I know we were being kicked out and I was 86'd. If It's one thing I don't mind getting kicked out of a bar for, it's defending myslelf against the fucking owner of the bar molesting me.


Some guy are fucking pigs.:furious:

(sorry about the long ass post...)

[Gmann]

Theres nothing that sickens me more than seeing drunk guys dissrespect women at a bar. I guess most of all it comes from having so many female friends as bartenders, and I see how they bust their ass to make that extra dollar.

Sorry you had to go through that Leticia.
